percy weasley: fusses over ginny in CoS, notices that she'd been acting odd, runs to meet Ron (and Harry kind of) in the water after he was kidnapped for the trial in GoF
also percy weasley: is constantly belittled by everyone in his family for his passions and following his dreams, called pompous in narration, has a fight with his father who essentially calls him an idiot and a shame to the family when he had just gotten the job he'd been striving for for literal years (HE WAS ONLY 18 AT THE TIME!!!) and leaves afterwards
fandom: pERCY WEASLEY HATED HIS FAMILY AND NEVER CARED ABOUT THEM!!!!!!
percy weasley: is canonically nice to younger students who ask him questions, gets bloodied up at the world cup with his older brothers (it is implied they got injured while trying to find the twins and ginny/ keep them safe) has a secret girlfriend (wHO ACTUALLY TREATS HIM REALLY WELL AND LISTENS TO HIM UNLIKE MOST OF HIS FAMILY MEMBERS), meets up with said girlfriend to snog (and probably more kdsjfskj) while on patrol, writes letters to her all summer, makes bets with her about quidditch with money he doesn't have and screams and jumps up and down about winning, will rant to her about stuff, makes jokes with her, genuinely very shaken up when she's attacked, keeps a photo of her bc he loves her that much
also percy: is a prefect/actually does his job as prefect
fandom: PERCY IS A NERDY PRUDE WHO IS ASOCIAL, HATES SPORTS, AND DOES NOTHING BUT WORK
me, rereading the books: w-what
(disclaimer i was like this my first few times reading so uh yeah)
(also i dont have anything against the other weasleys, they're some of my favorite characters i'm just very emotional over percy rn, and i'm not saying percy was perfect [ooh boy he definitely had his faults, the letter in OotP was insane] i'm just saying that the story is pretty goddamn sad from his pov)

âIt seemed brutally unfair that love did not follow the same laws of balance that nature did. Love could be offered but spurned; longed for but unrequited. Love could simply endâin heartbreak or triumph or slow, dull fade.â âFia, A Feather So Black by Lyra Selene

âEvery day there is a choice to keep going, to face the future head-on or not. Every day, there is a choice to be honest with yourself or lie. One will be the hardest thing you���ve ever done, and the other easier, but there is always the opportunity for choice if you donât take the easiest path.â âHolland, âA Fire in the Fleshâ by Jennifer L. Armentrout

âNoâŚdonât you think like that. Donât try to double back and say if only weâd done this or that. Choices were made and right or wrong they canât be unmade.â âThe Girl in Red by Christina Henry

âShe loved him, and love wasnât always patient and kind and selfless. It wasnât always the warm glow of tenderness.
Love was, she was learning, sometimes grasping and greedy. Sometimes it was a fierce and hollow burning at the base of her throat, a bright hard thing that made her choke and stutter. Sometimes it frightened her just as much as it pleased her.â âLooking Glass by Christina Henry

âAnything can happen. Depending on the day and our serotonin levels, this is either a promise or a threat. Around the corner there may be a new opportunity, new love, a great sale on the dress in our size and color. There may be a disaster, sickness, your sworn enemy right behind you in line on the day you decide âfuck itâ and wear your crocs and sweats to the market.â âBad Vibes Only, by Nora McInerny

âShe blamed herself and hated herself and punished herself because thatâs what women are taught to do. Blame themselves. Blame the victimsâŚNo one tells women that none of it is their fault. That the blame falls squarely on the awful men who do terrible things and the fucked-up society that raises them, molds them, makes excuses for them. People donât want to admit that there are monsters in their midst, so the monsters continue to roam free and the cycle of violence and blame continues.â âCharlie, âSurvive the Nightâ by Riley Sager

ââWhere did women get the idea that thereâs something wrong with them if they donât fight when a man hits them? If theyâre paralyzed with shock and disbelief? If they take time to react?94 if they decide not to reactâthat itâs best to just wait it out?â
âEvery movie where a woman gets attacked, and the audience dismisses her if she doesnât fight back.â
âItâs not just movies. Itâs every judge and defense attorney and jury member who wonders why she didnât fight. Unless she kills him. Then they wonder why she fought so hardâŚwhatever you did was the right thing Kennedy. Iâm just very very sorry.âââCursed Luck by Kelley Armstrong
